I was recently on a vacation in Marseille, and I was really taken by the mayo there. This was often served with frites. Does anyone know a brand I could get in the west coast US that would be similar?

The main difference I noticed was a slight tang to it? Not sure how to describe it better. Hopefully someone has had it. 😅

    One egg yoke, 3 tea spoons of fine French Dijon mustard, salt and sunflower oil is all you need for French mayonaise. Have everything at room temperature, it is important. Also, I recommend using a whisk, it will have a better firmness than with a stick blender. Whisk the egg yoke, salt and mustard. Add the oil very carefully, and don’t whisk too fast.

    Common French brand mayonnaise:

    Amora mayonnaise Bénédicta mayonnaise

      Thanks for the info! What I had in France came out of a packet, so definitely wasn’t homemade. I don’t doubt doing it this way is good, though.
